The cold winter has passed, and the scorching sun in mid-air has gradually begun to release its warmth. The snow has turned into streams, and the sound of running water can be heard everywhere outside Dithief City.
At this time, beside an official road only a few hundred miles away from Dithief City, more than a dozen carriages were parked on the roadside, and several maids were instructing the servants to fetch water from the stream on the roadside for cooking.
In the open space, a dozen men dressed as warriors were quickly setting up tents, one of which looked quite luxurious.
After the tent was set up, finally, a woman in a white skirt walked down from the most luxurious carriage on the side.
"Madam, please rest first!" A maid accompanied the woman to the tent and obediently opened the curtain.
"Bring the tea in, and then don't bother me again!" the woman ordered, not even letting the maid in.
"Yes!" The maid agreed and watched the woman go in. She did not dare to take another step.
This group of people is none other than Wu Yue, the wife of the city lord, who came out of Dithief City.
Thinking of the quarrels with her husband these days, Wu Li felt that she had suffered countless grievances, as if the biggest grievances in her life had been suffered in these years.
Growing up, apart from being bullied by a few so-called brothers and sisters of the master's family, I never felt angry. But what kind of life have I lived over the years? When I think of these, I can't help but shed tears.
"Madam, tea!" At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside,
Wu Yue immediately sat up, wiped his tears, returned to his cold demeanor and said, "Come in!"
The maid carefully placed the tea on the coffee table, but before she could walk out, she suddenly heard the sound of a teacup falling from behind.
"Madam!" When the maid heard this, her heart trembled, and she immediately turned around and looked at Wu Li.
Wu Li's face was full of anger, and he shouted at the maid: "You're scalding me to death. How many years have you been with me? Have you ever seen me drink tea that's so scalding? Even you want to make me angry, get out." Get out of here, everyone!"
"Yes!" Just hearing that she was told to get out, the maid was pleasantly surprised, because the wife had been punished a lot for her unsatisfactory life in recent years. Just being scolded a few times was already considered a blessing. She didn't know where she was, so she ran out immediately. .
After the maid went out, Wu Li threw herself on the bed and couldn't help crying. But because she didn't want the servants to know that she was crying, she could only hold back the crying.
After venting such emotions for a long time, she couldn't help but feel tired gradually, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
Although he fell asleep, he actually slept very lightly. After all, it was difficult to have a sweet sleep under such pressure.
Just as she was dazed, she suddenly felt as if someone had entered her tent.
Wu Yue may not be very good at other senses, but if someone enters her room, she feels very sensitive, almost subconsciously. She sat up, and just after she sat up, she saw a person The dark shadow is already approaching.
"Here comes someone!" Seeing the black shadow appear, she subconsciously shouted, appearing extremely frightened.
But she screamed loudly, but no one came, which made her face become even more panicked.
At this time, the man in black standing in front of her calmed down, looked at the person in front of him and sneered: "Stop screaming, everyone has been drugged, but I am surprised that you were not stunned!"
Hearing this, Wu Li felt a burst of sadness, and remembered that he had broken the tea cup and scolded people away. If he hadn't gotten angry this time, he might not have known about his death.
When he thought of death, Wu Yue became even more frightened. He looked at the other party and shouted: "Don't kill me. I can give you any Yuanjing you want!"
Hearing this, the man in black sneered and said: "Mrs. City Lord, you are too stupid. How can someone who can arrange to kill you still give up some Yuan Jing?"
"Who wants to kill me? I am from the Wu family! If you kill me, you will cause big trouble!" Wu Li asked in horror, tears about to fall out.
"Don't worry about it. Just know that your death will bring benefits to others!" The man in black said, and a bright short knife appeared in his hand and stabbed Wu Li directly.
Wu Yue screamed in fear and shrank her head, as if if she huddled up, the short knife would not be able to penetrate her body.
But that's exactly what happened. Wu Li didn't feel any pain on her body for a long time. After a while, she stuck her head out.
At this time, she only saw that the man in black in front of her was already lying on the ground, and someone had stabbed a hole in his back.
Just when she was confused, a woman's voice sounded: "Long time no see, Sister Wu!"
Following the sound, Wu Li saw a beautiful woman in her twenties or seventies standing in the corner of the tent.
"Qiniang, it's you!" Wu Li said in surprise.
"It's me!" The person standing in front of Wu Yue at this time was Jia Qiniang, but now Jia Qiniang was full of confidence and charm in front of Wu Yue, while Wu Yue looked particularly downcast.
Of course, this matter seemed to have escaped, so Wu Li ignored it, but she looked at Jia Qiniang and asked with doubts in her heart: "Why are you here?"
Jia Qiniang sighed and said: "I received news that someone was going to do something bad to you, so I came here. Fortunately, the other party used poison to stun others before attacking. If it was an ambush, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch up in time!"
"Madam, all six killers have been dealt with. Although the drug is powerful, it will not kill you. It's just that you will be weak for a few days after the drug wears off!" At this moment, a warrior ran in and reported to Jia Qiniang.
"I know, can you find out who it is?" Jia Qiniang asked.
"They should all be from outside the Thief City. The other party seems to be very careful!" the warrior replied.
"Go and rescue the others!" Jia Qiniang ordered.
"Yes!" The warrior agreed and went out.
Wu Yue looked at this scene and felt that the woman in front of him who was once the same as him now looked particularly majestic, but he himself was making people laughable.
"Don't worry, you should be safe now, but there are probably spies among your people, otherwise so many people wouldn't be stunned at once!" Jia Qiniang said.
"Who on earth wants to kill me!" Wu Yue asked.
Jia Qiniang said: "Then we have to ask, who is the most suspicious after you die?"
"Of course it's Lin..." Wu Li subconsciously wanted to say Lin Haoming's name, but looking at Jia Qiniang who was right in front of him, how could a person who wanted to kill him save him? The words that came to his lips could only be He swallowed it by force.
Jia Qiniang smiled and said, "It's my master, right? Then who is the person who benefits the most?"
